With Wood, I don’t think it’s that he can’t play defense, I think it’s just that nobody has ever demanded that he learn a team defense system. Like, at all.
Either he’ll get it or he won’t. The thing is, if he doesn’t get it, I’m not sure it’s going to matter which position he’s playing. I say stay the course for now.
Wood got to finish the half, so a bit of trust. But, he only got 11 minutes (22 minute pace). Kidd giveth and Kidd taketh away.
With that said, I’m liking these lineups with only one of THJ/Wood. But, it kills the chance of Wood getting big minutes to split them much.

Mavs got the perfect player if the tanking teams really want to start tanking. Nico playing some serious 3d chess.

The solution: Start Hardaway in place of Dinwiddie, which they should be doing anyway.

He stood at the check in table for 3 minutes waiting for a stoppage, so it would have been 14 minutes (28 min pace).

I’ve been purposely avoiding starting the fantasy trading too early, but today I listened to a scathing review of Thibs and was trying to figure a way to get Wood’s three point shooting to NY to space the floor for Randle and Barrett.
Main target would have been Toppin, but the deal could be expanded in all sorts of ways.

Powell starting the third. Maybe they're finally giving up on McGee.

Luka/THJ lineups have not traditionally been successful.

Terrible D which is why THJ needs to be traded.

Under Kidd. We have a big sample size of successful Luka/THJ in
19/20 8.5 net rating
20/21 3.6 net rating
21/22 (-1.4 net rating) being the outlier season with a way worse version of THJ. Also a much smaller sample size.

It will be interesting if the other Mavs step up. KD is taking it on hi,self and is really guarding Luka. Not even worried what is happening when Luka doesn’t have the ball.
Teams really don’t need to worry about Bullock right now. When does he start making shots again?

Wow that would have been an amazing assist
RE: GAME 9: BRK (4-6) @ DAL (5-3) | Nov 7, 8:45 pm | Mavs 6.5 pt Vegas favs - Chicagojk - 11-07-2022
Wow..bad Powell sequence.
RE: GAME 9: BRK (4-6) @ DAL (5-3) | Nov 7, 8:45 pm | Mavs 6.5 pt Vegas favs - IamDougieFresh - 11-07-2022
Will the Wood criticizers talk about Dwight's terrible sequence there or do they have an agenda?

Then redeemed with dive on the floor hustle But yeah, that was rough.

Can we just start McGee for the tipoff and then sub him out immediately? I have enjoyed having a chance at winning a tipoff.
RE: GAME 9: BRK (4-6) @ DAL (5-3) | Nov 7, 8:45 pm | Mavs 6.5 pt Vegas favs - Chicagojk - 11-07-2022
I think the non Luka and non KD minutes may play a huge factor. Mavs need to turn it on.
Give KD a lot of credit how he is taking on Luka.

Slippery floor for THJ injury
RE: GAME 9: BRK (4-6) @ DAL (5-3) | Nov 7, 8:45 pm | Mavs 6.5 pt Vegas favs - KillerLeft - 11-07-2022
Poor THJ. Just as he was getting it going tonight.
RE: GAME 9: BRK (4-6) @ DAL (5-3) | Nov 7, 8:45 pm | Mavs 6.5 pt Vegas favs - sterlingmallory - 11-07-2022
Oh no, THJ is definitely going to be out a few weeks after that.
